These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age (56). I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live in the burbs and work in the city (Chicago, the best city in the world). I'm an aunt, a friend and a colleague. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.

Here I was, all broke

It never fails -- this late in the pay period my bad planning catches up with me and I'm short.

So consider my delight this afternoon, when I came back from the ladies' room (where I was practicing good oral hygiene) I found my expense check for $86.16 on my keyboard. I know it's my own money, not a present, but considering the timing, I couldn't be happier.
